Maria Logacheva has co-authored a paper “The Mitochondrial Genome of Nematodontous Moss Polytrichum commune and Analysis of Intergenic Repeats Distribution Among Bryophyta” recently published in Diversity journal. The scientists have compared mitochondrial genomes of 44 moss species and revealed that an enchanced stability of bryophyte mitogenomes is associated mainly with the absence of long (>1 kb) repeats.
